Am I need of a waiver?

Note: The title of this thread was supposed to be "Am I IN need of a waiver"

I asked online with the "chat with a soldier option"(I believe that's what it was) once last month and the answer seemed too good to be true so I wanted to double check If I'm still good to join with this "criminal" history.

To make a long story short, in September of 2012 I was involved in a self-defense related shooting. I was given two charges.

I'd also like to add that for the charge that I was found guilty of, all fines have been payed and I was not given any form of probation. I also would like to add that I do have a GED if that is of any matter.

First of all, we need to determine what the level of offense you were convicted of is. My guess is SHOOT IN PUBLIC PLACE is considered a non-traffic offense which would not require a waiver. Read below and tell us what your charge falls under.

According to AR 601-210:

(1) If the maximum confinement under local law is 6 months or fewer, the offense should be treated as a other non
traffic offense. If the maximum confinement under local law exceeds 6 months, but does not exceed 1 year, treat the
offense as a misconduct offense. If the maximum confinement exceeds 1 year, treat the offense as a major misconduct.
If the local law considers the offense a felony, then treat as a major misconduct.

I now understand that ominous statement. I will have to take the AIMS/TAPAS Psychometric personality tests and score well on them in order to move on. Well, good thing both tests have a nice big pdf file explaining exactly what they are and how they work courtesty of the DOD it's self.
